Yeah, you're right, pkcs12 is supported, but the phaos encryption test
suite doesn't contain pkcs12 files, only plain private key files. So
what we could do is create pkcs12 file with the correct certs/keys in
there, but we'd have to create 'dummy' certificates for this, and
somehow we'd have to create the pkcs 12 files, but probably with OpenSSL
we could do this. Or we can create code that imports the private key, as
it is defined in the original phaos file, with that information I think
it is possible to import the private key into MS Crypto API, but then
this code would be implemented solely for this particular purpose: The
phaos test suite ... What do you think? (PS Sorry I keep on nagging
about these tests)

Hmmm, strange indeed. I've done a fresh checkout and didn't encounter
any problems. So that is not helping you at all :(
